The best option would be to connect a label printer via a plugin to InvenTree. That way you can print labels from any InvenTree client (web, app) and you are not limited to a computer where the special label printer software runs on.

@HannesMorre FYI I have just created a fresh docker install using image Docker Container Setupdocker compose run inventree-server invoke update
docker compose run inventree-server invoke setup-test -I
docker compose up -d Plugin InstallInstalled Reboot Docker Imagedocker compose restart inventree-server Verify Plugin InstallationConfirmed that the plugin config is now visible in the settings interface: Given that this is the exact same docker image you are using, it is very strange that you are seeing different results... |

Hi, I am a co-worker of @HannesMorre. The plugin has been installed successfully since these two plugins (inventree-cups-plugin & inventree-brother-plugin) are present and enabled in the UI. FROM inventree/inventree:0.12.10
## Dependency for the cups plugin: https://inventree.org/wolflu05/inventree-cups-plugin
RUN apt-get update && apt install libcups2-dev -y
## Install plugins:
RUN pip install git+https://github.com/wolflu05/inventree-cups-plugin
RUN pip install inventree-brother-plugin Whenever I try to print out a labels using either one of the two plugins, I stumble on the same issue: inventree-worker | Plugin registry has no record of plugin 'brother'
inventree-worker | Could not find matching plugin for 'brother' and inventree-worker | Plugin registry has no record of plugin 'cups'
inventree-worker | Could not find matching plugin for 'cups' Printer side everything works fine since we are able to print some test labels. We noticed this issue on our staging environment, so I have setup another instance (0.12.10) from scratch using docker and stumbled on the exact same issue. Edit: |

I am wondering what the best option is for me to print labels of all stock items. Currently we have around 1300 stock items and I would like to print labels with qr codes on them for all these stock items. We have a Brother QL-500, Dymo LabelWriter 450 Duo and Zebra ZT2300.
What would be our best option to efficiently print labels for all these and future stock items? I cannot get the allignment of these labels right when downloading them and then printing on one of these printers.
I know there are plugins for zebra, dymo and brother, but we cannot manage to get them installed.
If someone could help with this, that would be great.
